:: We request that poets writing “after” poems not only attribute the name of the poet they are responding to, but the title of the original poem as well. This includes work that has been revised from a previously published poem. :: We do not accept previously published work. Please notify us immediately via Submittable if your submission has been accepted elsewhere. :: We do accept simultaneous submissions. Please page break when a new poem begins. :: Please include all poems in one file, as it keeps costs down. If you must, you can withdraw your submission and submit an updated file again (refunds will not be offered for withdrawn donation or requesting feedback submissions). :: We unfortunately cannot accommodate revisions once you have pressed the submit button and the work is under consideration, to guarantee our editors are reading the same draft. For requesting feedback submissions, please wait at least 6 months before inquiring. For regular submissions, please wait 4 months after your submission has been received to query in regards to its status via Submittable or email. Requesting feedback submissions can take between 3-6 months. Our average response time is 1 week to 3 months, but can occasionally take longer. :: We only accept general submissions through Submittable. :: We ask for first rights, and we also ask that any future publications (congratulations!) of your accepted poems are acknowledged back to Tinderbox Poetry Journal. :: While we are a poetry-specific journal, we seek to expand the definition of poetry. One of the luckiest things is finding the amazing and unknown within these submission pages. :: We thank you for trusting us with your work. We don't have restrictions on form or content, and we are interested in featuring poets at all stages of their career. When we read submissions, we seek poems that give us a little shiver, poems that catch the light and compel us to look closer. :: To get a better sense of our aesthetic, we encourage submitters to read past issues via our archives. We appreciate your support in showcasing the talented poets of our era. These proceeds will go towards the standard expenses a journal incurs: Submittable subscription, website fees, promotional costs, paying contributors and staff, etc. To offset the costs of running our journal (and to continue offering no mandatory fees), we recommend Tip Jar ($3+) and Requesting Feedback options ($7) for folks with the means to make a donation. :: We offer 300 fee-free submissions during each reading period, with the exception of our contest. We publish four issues per year and nominate for Pushcart Prizes, Best New Poets, and Best of the Net. We are a paying market that offers contributors $15, regardless of how many poems are selected. :: Tinderbox Poetry Journal has been the original home of poems appearing in Best of the Net, Best New Poets, and Bettering American Poetry anthologies.
